The Quicken Loans 400 will be held at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday. The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is really beginning to heat up and there will be no shortage of intrigue in this one. Second-place driver Greg Biffle will be at No. 3 in the starting lineup, looking to reclaim his spot as overall points leader. The new leader, Matt Kenseth, will be close behind at No. 6 in the starting lineup.
The race will also be interesting to watch in order to see how the drivers deal with the track. The blistering of tires during practice runs and qualifying laps prompted NASCAR and Goodyear to bring in super-hard tires from 2006 for the race. We'll see how that all shakes out on Sunday.
The green flag is expected to wave at 10:16 a.m. PT on Sunday. The race will be televised on TNT for the second time this season. There IS live streaming of the race today, which can be found at NASCAR.com's "RaceBuddy" site.
